-Faster D1 performance is most noticeable via requests to D1's [Worker API](/d1/worker-api/). The same improvement applies to D1's [REST API](/api/resources/d1/subresources/database/methods/query/). However, the REST API still depends on Cloudflare's centralized datacenters for authentication, which reduces the relative performance improvement.
-
 This performance improvement benefits all D1 Worker API traffic, especially cross-region requests where network latency is an outsized latency factor. For example, a user in Europe talking to a database in North America. D1 [location hints](/d1/configuration/data-location/#provide-a-location-hint) can be used to influence the geographic location of a database.
 
 For more details on how D1 lowered latency, see product-specific changelog [entry](/d1/platform/changelog/#2025-01-07).
